"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, above all, to make you see." -- Joseph Conrad (1897)

Howard Zinn: 1922 - 2010

I am truly devastated to hear that Howard Zinn has died. He was a fundamental thinker/historian/teacher in my development as an activist/citizen/teacher. He will be missed... and he will be with me always when I work in my community, when I teach my classes, when I write my own histories, and when I protest injustice.

About Me

Sprouted San Diego-CA. Interpellated through Midwest universities. Working the borderline South. Searching for viable alternatives. Interested in indymedia, revolutionary knowledge, radical art/music/fictions, food politics and resistance cultures. Dialogic Cinephilia is the belief that in order to better understand/appreciate the world of cinema, one must learn about the world. I research, teach and write about World Cinema, Peace and Conflict Studies and Media Issues. Twitter @mdbento
